'Dolittle': Film Review
This fantastical adventure does very little to stoke the imagination, refashioning a literary classic about a veterinarian who can speak with animals into a frenetic, crass kids' flick.

It's been more than half a century since Rex Harrison spoke (and sang!) to animals as author Hugh Lofting's eloquent veterinarian (Richard Fleischer's 1967 musical film was nominated for nine Oscars, including best picture), and just over two decades since Eddie Murphy gave his own goofy modern portrayal. That's enough time for Dr. Dolittle to fade from kid audiences' collective consciousness, and just the right amount for Lofting's first two books to enter the public domain, which explains why a new studio — Universal, where the two earlier incarnations hailed from Fox — has opted to revive the character yet again, this time enlisting the intensely charismatic actor Robert Downey Jr. to play the title role.
Trouble is, this latest "Dolittle" is downright sloppy. Director Stephen Gaghan's period-set overhaul of the literary classic proves to be as predictable as it is obnoxious. In its defense, the film evokes an arm's-length connection with its cute CG creature coterie and delivers heartening messages about psychological trauma, and yet, the charm-starved adaptation simultaneously tests audiences' patience with overly complicated, noisy scenarios. What should have been an awe-filled adventure quickly curdles into an awful one, thanks to a pedestrian formula and the filmmakers' fixation on fart jokes.
Dr. John Dolittle (Downey) has been squirreled away in his British countryside manor since the death of his wife years earlier. His lush, palatial estate has fallen into disrepair, overgrown with vines and greenery (a metaphor!) that provide a protective layer to shut out human company. Though he's cloaked in tattered clothing and sports an overgrown, ZZ Top-style sadness beard, we spot a hint of the fantastical genius who once embraced the joys of living through his interactions with the furry, feathered, and seemingly ferocious animal companions rehabilitating on the property.
Dolittle's chosen life of solitude is interrupted one day by both Tommy Stubbins (Harry Collett), a young man compelled to become an apprentice, and Lady Rose (Carmel Laniado), the Queen's (Jessie Buckley) intrepid young daughter, who's been sent to enlist the eccentric doctor's aid. The Queen is on her deathbed and Lady Rose needs help not only to solve the mysterious circumstances surrounding her poisoning, but also to locate a potential antidote. The stakes are high for Dolittle since, if the queen perishes before the upcoming solar eclipse, he'll lose control of his animal sanctuary. Luckily, the doctor knows where to find a journal that tells the location of a cure. The treacherous journey will have Dolittle and company fending off a rogues' gallery of ne'er-do-wells, including the sniveling palace doctor and former Dolittle antagonist Dr. Blair Müdfly (Michael Sheen), crooked Lord Thomas Badgley (Jim Broadbent), and conniving King Rassouli (Antonio Banderas), who has ties to Dolittle's past.
Screenwriters Dan Gregor, Doug Mand, and Gaghan, working from a story by Thomas Shepherd, frequently go off-book in order to sketch their refurbished tale, borrowing only a waft of inspiration from the novels' versions of Dolittle and Stubbins. It's a shame that same level of evolving design wasn't applied to the new characters. The women in Dolittle's world demonstrate tenacity of spirit, but only to a limited degree: One of them is dead for the exclusive purpose of aiding two male characters' arcs, and the other gumption-fueled gal is left at home while the men adventure, satisfying traditionally feminine domestic constructs (nursing her ailing mother). Such faintly sexist leanings are slightly forgivable when the narrative is peppered with healthy sentiments about how to handle grief, anxiety, and disability, as well as the values of being vulnerable with each other and kind to animals. Still, those messages are garbled in execution and lack the proper breathing room to make them impactful on the characters for more than a few seconds when conveniently utilized.
Despite the good the picture attempts to put into the universe, there's much more that drags it down. The sheer volume of crass flatulence jokes and routines involving animal nether regions should get youngsters in the audience laughing, but will just as assuredly make the grownups groan. Once the film wears out jokes with dog Jip (voiced by Tom Holland), discussing butts and scooting on the floor, you'd think the film would've reached its capacity. But no, there's still more in store, as the film stoops to include a disgruntled tiger (Ralph Fiennes) getting kicked in the crotch and a dragon (Frances de la Tour) getting an enema.
The movie's elaborate — and, ultimately, repetitive — Rube Goldberg-inspired action sequences might have been more effective if streamlined, while the absurdist humor to be found in these moments is frequently undercut in favor of garish, pratfall-adjacent shenanigans. Editor Craig Alpert cuts away too quickly from a bit between rebellious fox Tutu (Marion Cotillard) and brave giraffe Betsy (Selena Gomez) about how they'll cover up Stubbins' death if he doesn't make it onto Dolittle's ship, one of many moments drowned out by Danny Elfman's overbearing score. Plus, the anachronistic dialogue from polar bear Yoshi (John Cena, who says "bro" a bunch) and an octopus who spews "snitches get stitches" clash with the immersive Victorian-era world the filmmakers have crafted.
All these misfired attempts at humor serve to dampen Downey's innate magnetism — so strikingly evident in his revival of the "Sherlock Holmes" franchise — which is completely lost in this back-to-the-book reboot. The compelling nuance of Dolittle facing his crippling sorrow yields little emotional wallop. And while one can make excuses for the non-uniformity of all those voiceover accents, seeing as how the animals hail from all over the globe, it's a puzzle trying to figure out Downey's mush-mouthed Welsh accent. Considering that Dolittle's signature is the fact he can talk to animals, it's a puzzle why Downey's performance sounds as if it were entirely looped in ADR. Now that the rights to Lofting's novels have lapsed, this surely won't be Hollywood's last Dolittle adaptation. Let's just hope whoever follows can write the right prescription, balancing between humor and heart to deliver a doctor worth celebrating.

RIHANNA; I STILL LOVE CHRIS BROWN…
Written by Dotun Pholdz on August 21, 2012 . Posted in Uncategorized
Rihanna and Chris Brown have long been ex-lovers, since Brown infamously assaulted her in 2009, but there is still a lot of love that exist between the two. Rih Rih said as much in her primetime interview on Oprah's Next Chapter on Sunday.
Asked by host Oprah Winfrey where her relationship with Brown stood today, a teary-eyed Rihanna flatly stated, "I still love him."
"We're very, very close friends," Rihanna explained. "We built a trust again and that's it. We love each other and we probably always will."
The 24-year-old international star admits that she does see her ex-beau from time to time, but the relationship is strictly platonic. While she recognizes Brown is in a relationship and she is single, the "We Found Love" singer confessed, "I think he was the love of my life."
As she's been asked to do over and over in nearly every interview she's done since the 2009 incident, which occurred on Grammy night in Los Angeles, Rihanna recalled her feelings following the domestic dispute.
"It was a weird, confusing space to be in," Rihanna told Oprah. "Because as angry as I was, as angry and hurt and betrayed, I just felt like he made that mistake because he needed help and who's going to help him? Nobody's going to say he needs help. Everybody's going to say he's a monster without looking at the source, and I was more concerned about him."
Aside from discussing her relationship with Brown, Rih Rih took Oprah on a tour of her native island Barbados while opening up about family and her career… Giztzzz… madetv!

Empowering the Marginalized – Deepak Dwivedi publishes international edition of his book, together with the DOC Research Institute
Posted on 4 Okt 2017
Deepak Dwivedi, Rhodes Forum, Book Launch
The book was already launched in August 2017 in Delhi, but has now been produced as an international edition together with the DOC Research Institute and the Nagrik Foundation. In Empowering the Marginalized – A Perspective for Inclusive Development, Deepak Dwivedi analyses the developments of poverty at a global and local level with the example of India, taking into account decisions and agreements made by the UN, as well as social factors and developments. The book looks atdevelopment plans and projects systematically, with a deeper look into the cause of the marginalised segment of India´s population, for whose interest and wellbeing a great sense of responsibility has been evoked through many a national movement, as well as multiple voluntary efforts. It follows anintegrated approach in dealing with subject matter like children, citizens, ecosystems, environmental consciousness, and the impact of disasters on environmental and human life.
"Hopefully, the book will fasten the process and a series of actions for enlarged community participation in the pursuit of happiness and universal well-being and be an active communicator for the unreached members of the community, enabling them to express their views and take part in the decision-making process in any developmental project," mentions Deepak Dwivedi in the preface of the book.
DOC Research Institute CEO Pooran Chandra Pandey contributed one chapter on ´Corporate Social Responsibilty: the impact of business on society´, to the book.
The chairman of the DOC Supervisory Board wrote a message to the readers of the book, stating that, "Every society has its marginalized communities. To prevent simmering tensions descending into violence, to help build an equitable society in which all are respected, and to unlock hidden economic potential, it is vital to lay clear foundations of dialogue between majorities and the marginalized – in all our communities."
The international edition will be launched during the first day of the 15th Anniversary Rhodes Forum. The Rhodes Forum provides a platform for prominent business people, policy-makers, and scholars to engage in wide-ranging debate on the most pressing issues on the international agenda
This year's Rhodes Forum will comprise overarching themes through which participants will explore social, economic, and political issues. In addition, two focal events will be the Summit on Globalisation and the Future of Democracy, and the Summit on Global Infrastructure Development Scenarios: Where the Interests of Banks, Industries, Governments, and Societies Meet.Here, thought leaders from civil society, politics, and the business community will come together to discuss concepts, problems, and solutions to key questions.
Prof. Deepak Dwivedi ( M.Sc. in Chemistry), and a meritorious scholar of Lucknow University rendered distinguished services and advice to several academic institutions and Universities across India, mainly Mahatma Gandhi University, Andhra Pradesh; Yogi Vemana University. He contributed immensely as Director of National Agriculture Cooperative Marketing Federation of India (NAFED), New Delhi and as Advisor to Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission, Government of India. His contribution is immeasurable as Chairman for Sub-committee on Farmers' Grievances constituted by Allahabad High Court; as member of Media Committee of Commonwealth Games, New Delhi and contributed as Expert Editor to National Museum Institute.
Prof. Dwivedi is presently Director and Chief Editor of Dainik Bhaskar (Uttar Pradesh). As a seasoned journalist, he has many a professional accomplishment and global exposure to his credit. He was invited for United Nations General Assembly Conference on the Global Compact +15, for basic health journalism and ethics course meant for capacity building of district media persons in partnership with UNICEF-India, the George Institute for Global Health, Oxford University and Reuters Foundation. His passion in motion has been for social development as Founder President of Nagrik Foundation, which has been accorded UN Global Compact Participant Status. He has been closely working in consultation with UN and its agencies including foreign Universities, prominently the Universities of Toronto and Peking, China to fulfil the Global Humanitarian and Developmental Objectives.

Final Fantasy VII and Other Remakes Are Harder Than Original Games, Says Square Enix CEO
The Final Fantasy VII remake has absolutely completely changed the game while keeping the core of it familiar, and Square says that's the hardest part.
Published June 21, 2019, 10:01 a.m. about Final Fantasy VII Remake
From what we've seen thus far, the Final Fantasy VII remake is a true remake in the sense that while the core of it remains similar, it truly is a brand new experience. It's because of that delicate balance that Square Enix is saying that oftentimes remakes are infinitely more challenging than coming up with an original IP.
Square Enix CEO Yosuke Matsuda recently sat down with the folks over at GamesBeat to talk about some of the biggest challenges that face studios that take on a huge remake project such as Final Fantasy VII.
"I'd say that what we've learned is that making remakes can be very challenging," said the CEO. "It's as difficult or even more so than making an original title, a new title, in a different sense. What I mean is that when you're making a remake, you can't just chase nostalgia. That's not going to work out. You have to make it the latest game, a game that's current.
"In making the Final Fantasy 7 Remake, we have to think about the fans of the original, who know Final Fantasy 7, but at the same time we want to expand beyond that to people who may not have had any experience with Final Fantasy 7, or even Final Fantasy altogether. I don't believe we can just be thinking about the fans of the past game when making this. Of course we value how much support they've given us, but at the same time we'd like to see new customers play this as well. We need to make a game that will satisfy both of those customer bases. That's why I say it's so challenging."
Seeing all of the differences come together, it's easy to imagine the challenges faced. On one hand, remaining faithful to the source material is key, while on the other a remake is much more than a simple remaster and requires a unique creative touch that both feels new and familiar at the same time. It looks like it's shaping up quite well for the Final Fantasy title (Sephiroth drooling commence), and we can't wait to get our hands on it to see all of those changes for ourselves.
As for the game itself, Final Fantasy VII Remake makes its official debut on March 3, 2020, exclusively to the PlayStation 4.

Since the advent of Heinrich's Injury Pyramid in 1931, it has been generally accepted that there is a predictive relationship between the frequency and types of non-injury, minor injuries and the serious, life-altering or threatening injuries, at the top of the triangle. The safety triangle theorizes that for every major injury there are 29 minor injuries and 300 non-injury incidents. Though this triangle is considered a gold standard, many safety professionals realize that all non-injury or minor incidents are not equal and some have more potential to result in a serious injury or fatality (SIF).
A recent report by the Campbell Institute, Serious Injury and Fatality Prevention: Perspectives and Practices recommends a redesign or enhancement of the model. The new SIF prevention model would look at all incidents – namely, precursors to accidents, recordable injuries, lost-time injuries and fatalities – and seek out those with serious injury and fatalities potential. It encourages organizations to focus on the process factors that lead to SIF, rather than human error, which will always occur. They should focus on repairing gaps in their safety management system, workplace culture, and changing or modifying work processes that eliminate human error.
For example, a workplace with a production problem may ignore or even condone shortcuts and speed, which can lead to bad decisions by workers. A forklift operator may drive too fast and not wear a seatbelt, which can lead to a serious accident. While there can be a tendency to blame the worker, the production demands were the proximate cause and the precursor to the event. According to the author of the paper, Joy Inouye, a key to lowering the fatalities in the workforce lies in an organization's ability to look inward. "Instead of blaming the worker for not putting on his seatbelt, start to look at those organizational factors that contributed to that." The report includes examples of companies that have successfully revamped strategies for identifying risk factors.
Trends in injury patterns validate the need for a shift in thinking. While employers have done a good job in reducing the total recordable incident rate, there has been a disturbing increase in the number of workplace fatalities and catastrophic injuries. Diving deeper into near misses and smaller, less serious incidents could help prevent on-the-job deaths or catastrophic injuries. By identifying potential precursors to such events and educating employees about those precursors, companies can focus on eliminating the potential for such incidents to occur.
The report recognizes that isolating incidents with the potential for SIF requires serious groundwork. It suggests next steps like organizing a think-tank that defines "serious injury", "precursor" and "potential." To determine whether an incident is a potential SIF or not, it may make sense to define and use a Severity Scale that can be consistently understood by anyone, one that is tied to potential outcomes. For example, most severe could be an injury that would lead to the death of an individual, and the least severe could be first aid and immediate return to work. Including specific injury examples can be helpful.
Implementation raises the bar of safety management and requires a proactive, rather than reactive approach. It will take careful planning – both around the processes used and the responsibilities assigned.
Do workers fear the consequences of reporting something they may be blamed for or is there a culture of trust and all workers participate in reporting?
Is near miss training part of new hire orientation?
Are supervisors and management onboard and do they foster a reporting culture?
Is reporting simple and straightforward?
Does the report provide a solid log of what leads up to the incident?
Is the definition of near miss clear?
Is there a thorough investigation that identifies the root cause?
Are corrective actions taken and employees notified?
Have supervisors explain to employees why the company is focusing on the smaller incidents and near-misses, and how a minor incident can turn major. Explain the importance of looking at potential rather than actual outcomes for minor incidents.
Think-outside-the box. A recent article in Risk and Insurance described how Wente Family Estates vineyards teamed up with the criminology department at Holy Names University in Oakland to take a look at workers' comp data to analyze injuries and near misses, pinpointing problem areas and gathering insight on how to prevent future losses. The idea was based on a partnership between United Airlines and the University of New Haven that used interns from the criminology department as part of a data visualization project, leading to a 23 percent reduction in employee injuries and a 29 percent reduction in aircraft damage on the ground.
The Obama administration expanded the "look-back" period, which is the basis of repeat violations to five years from the three years that was in the field operations manual. In Triumph Construction vs. Sec of Labor, the court found that OSHA is not bound by any look-back period since it is not in the statute or the regulations. Although the five-year period is still in the manual, legally there can be an indefinite look-back period.
The ability of OSHA to expand an unprogrammed injury inspection (based on a reported hospitalization) to a wall-to-wall inspection was addressed in U.S. v. Mar-Jac Poultry. The 11th Circuit court rejected the warrant to inspect the facility based on the injuries recorded on the 300 log, which it found did not establish reasonable suspicion of violations.
OSHA successfully defended the legality of its multi-employer policy and ability to cite a general contractor as a "controlling employer" in Acosta vs. Hensel Phelps.
Under the Obama administration, there was an effort to expand "per day" violations, which a grain handler challenged. The OSHRC ALJ granted Summary Judgment to the employer, noting per day penalties are inconsistent with the statute except when regulation language is clear such as for failure to abate.
EPA tried to delay the implementation of the EPA's RMP amendments that were made in the final hours of the Obama administration, but the court found the delay rule unlawful.
Takeaway: To date, there has not been the pullback on enforcement that was expected under the Trump administration. It remains aggressive and citations are more expensive. If a company is inspected there is only a one in four chance that it will not receive a citation. Forward-thinking companies are vigilant about compliance.
The sixth annual Workers' Compensation Benchmarking Study Report by Rising Medical Solutions, Inc. focuses on key issues influencing medical management performance and the most potent strategies to address these issues.
The number of fatal work injuries dropped slightly in 2017 to 5,147 down from 5,190 in 2016. Fatal falls were at their highest level in the 26-year history of the BLS's reporting, accounting for 17.2% of employee deaths, while transportation incidents again account for the most deaths with 2,077, or 40.4%.
In 2017, 15.1% of fatally injured workers were age 65 or over – a series high. The number of deaths among Hispanic or Latino workers rose 2.7% to 903 in 2017.
AmTrust Financial Services Inc., a provider of workers compensation insurance, took a deep dive into common restaurant injuries, lost time, industry loss ratio trends and how to implement loss control best practices in its report, Restaurant Risk Report. Cafés and coffee shops had the highest lost time, on average 45% more time lost than all other restaurant types. Wrist injuries are the biggest danger for coffee shop workers, with "barista wrist" resulting in an average of 366 days to return to work.
Nearly half of all musculoskeletal injuries reported by long-haul truck drivers are to their arms, backs or necks – the majority being sprains and strains – according to a recent study conducted by researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Drivers most often were injured because of a fall (38.9 percent) or contact with an object or equipment (33.7 percent).
Of those injured, 53 percent required time away from work, at a rate of 355.4 incidents per 10,000 full-time workers, which is more than double those of other hazardous professions. The researchers said the study suggests the need for injury prevention and interventions and ways to improve recovery when injuries occur.
A report ranking states by risk of violence during Black Friday was recently released by Reviews.org. Included in the report are the employers that have the most incidents during Black Friday.
Department of Economic Opportunity announced that the statewide average weekly wage paid to injured workers by employers will be $939 starting Jan. 1.
The Department of Insurance is recommending a 3.5 percent decrease in workers' compensation insurance loss costs for 2019, the fifth year in a row rates will decrease.
The Workers' Compensation Board approved medical fee schedules and ground rules, effective April 1, 2019.
The Workers' Compensation Research Institute's (WCRI) Benchmark shows that medical payments per workers' comp claim decreased significantly since 2013, falling 6 percent each year through 2016.
The Industrial Commission has finalized settlement agreement rules, The "Group 2" rules aimed to clean up some inconsistent language and streamline the settlement process, as well as clarify wording relating to attorney's fees. The rules took effect Jan. 1.
The Commission approved Group 1 rule changes, which took effect Dec. 1. Medical motions, responses and appeals on medical motions must be submitted electronically and must include the opposing party's position on the matter.
Insurance commissioner approved two loss cost reductions that together will amount to a 14.74% decrease, starting Jan. 1. Loss costs are one of many factors that determine premiums for workers' comp insurance.
Department of Labor and Industry reported that the maximum compensation rate will rise by 2.3%, to $1,049 per week, starting Jan. 1. It's website offers a chart to determine compensation based on the employee's average weekly wage.
Department of Labor and Industry announced that it has adopted the Red Book, published by Truven Health Analytics, to determine the average wholesale price of prescription drugs.
A bank has agreed to pay $700,000 to settle an EEOC lawsuit for violating the ADA. Hudson City Savings Bank, which merged into Wilmington Trust Co., a subsidiary of Buffalo, New York-based M&T Bank Corp. in 2015, had a long-standing inflexible policy of placing employees with impairment or disabilities on involuntary leave or discharging them until it received a medical provider's clearance to return to work with no restrictions.
In Janice Hustvet v. Allina Health System, a unit of Minneapolis-based Allina Health System merged with Courage Center in Minneapolis. Allina required Courage Center employees who had patient contact to get a vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella as part of a preplacement health assessment screen. An independent living skills specialist refused noting she had many allergies and chemical sensitivities.
When she was fired, she filed a disability discrimination suit under the ADA. The court found that the requirement to undergo a health screen was job-related and consistent with a business necessity. Further, there was insufficient evidence that her chemical sensitivities or allergies substantially or materially limit her ability to perform major life activities.
In City of Petaluma v. WCAB (Lindh), a police officer suffered head injuries during a training exercise, experienced headaches and lost vision in his left eye. A medical assessment determined that he had a pre-existing vascular condition that predisposed him to a loss of eyesight. While an administrative law judge and the WCAB granted a 40% permanent disability without apportionment, the 1st District Court of Appeal noted statutes provide that permanent disability must be apportioned based on causation, as long as there is substantial medical evidence that the disability was caused, in part, by nonindustrial factors. The condition does not have to manifest itself; an asymptomatic condition, means a condition that is present but for which there aren't any symptoms.
The court therefore ordered the case sent back to the board to issue an award apportioning 85% of Lindh's disability to his pre-existing condition, and 15% to his industrial injury.
Florida's statute allows a judge of compensation claims to change benefits if there is a change in condition or if there was a mistake in a determination of fact. In U.S. Fire Insurance Co. v. Hackett, the carrier had been paying for around-the-clock attendant care provided by the husband and daughter of the injured worker. Over 25 years after the accident, the injured worker stopped seeing her treating doctor.
The carrier then conducted surveillance and found she was not receiving all the attendant care for which they were paying and questioned the need for continued care. While a judge agreed that the husband and daughter were deceiving the carrier, she denied the carrier's petition for modification, reasoning that the evidence established fraud, not a change in medical condition. She also stated she did not have the authority to compel an IME. The Court of Appeal for the 1st District disagreed and reversed the decision.
In A&R Janitorial v. Pepper Construction Co.; Teresa Mroczko, an employee of a janitorial service was cleaning an office building. At the same time, a subcontractor was replacing carpets and a desk that had been placed in an upright position fell and injured the custodian. She collected workers' comp benefits from her employer, but did not file a timely personal injury action against the construction company.
Under Illinois law, if a worker does not file a personal injury action, her employer can. While the litigation was pending, the worker filed her own action, but was denied as untimely. Later, she filed a petition to intervene in her employer's case. While a judge denied the petition, the Appellate Court reversed and the case went to the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court reversed on res judicata grounds – the matter had already been adjudicated by a competent court and may not be pursued further by the same parties.
An employee of a temporary staffing agency was assigned to work in an assembly plant. When her hand was crushed by a punch press and a finger was severed, she collected workers' comp from her employer, the temporary staffing agency. Later she filed suit against the assembly plant, claiming negligence.
In Robert G. Knapp v. Bette & Cring LLC, Workers' Compensation Board, a divided appellate court ruled that the Workers' Compensation Board erred in barring the introduction of the IME's report and testimony at a later hearing because the attorney sent a text message to the physician and not the opposing counsel.
The message requested an update on the loss of use of the worker's left foot, which had been determined at 40.5% for comp benefits. Following the exam, the IME found an 88% scheduled loss and the Board reopened the case. The Board credited the employer's physician's report and awarded a 50% loss, precluding the IME's report.
In overturning the decision, the appellate court noted the message 'appears to be a limited communication' and did not reflect an effort to influence the physician's testimony or opinion.
In Matter of Byrnes v. New Island Hospital, an appellate court ruled that an injured nurse could continue use of Amrix, a muscle relaxant, which is recommended for only short-term use on the board's Non-Acute Pain Management Guidelines, but which she had been using for over 16 years. The injured worker's doctors argued that the medication, in combination with other therapies, allowed her to perform the activities of daily living and to continue working as a nurse and the effects of the drug vary by individual.
The court supported the board's finding that the medication was medically necessary.
In Mancini v. Office of Children and Family Services, the state's highest court ruled the additional compensation awards permissible under Section 15 (3) (v) of the Workers' Compensation Law are subject to the durational limits set out under Section 15(3)(w) – those for workers with non-schedule injuries. The ruling is a continuation of the state's trend toward caps on benefits that started with the 2007 reforms.
In Pine v. Walmart Associates, a long-time employee fell and was released to return to work, but continued to experience pain. A few months later, imaging revealed nerve damage and she filed a workers' compensation claim. Walmart accepted liability for the right shoulder and arm injuries, but denied liability for the condition of her cervical spine as well as other injuries, since she had a pre-existing degenerative disc disease.
The Industrial Commission found her injuries and subsequent pain were the result of the earlier fall and were compensable based on the Parson's presumption that injured workers should not be required to prove their need for treatment was related to the original injury every time they seek further medical care. While noting the commission applied the incorrect standard in determining compensability, the Court of Appeals affirmed.
While this was under appeal, legislation was enacted that amended the statute, Section 97-82(b), to clarify that the Parsons presumption applies only to the specific injury that was accepted on a Form 60. Since the statute was applicable to all cases not yet resolved, the worker was not entitled to a presumption that her other conditions were compensable. Further, it was unclear if the commission made findings of causation independent of the application of the presumption; therefore, the decision had to be set aside.
In Smith v. Capital Region Medical Center, a widow was awarded benefits for the death of her husband. When the employer appealed the award, there was a delay of about 1.5 years before the Court of Appeals affirmed it. The widow filed a petition for civil contempt to compel the employer to pay the interest owed, but the court noted Section 511.340 prohibits the use of civil contempt to enforce the mere payment of money.
In Weyerman v. Freeman Expositions, a stagehand was a member of a local union. The union had a collective agreement with Complete Payroll, which was considered the employer of members of Local 42 when they worked on its jobs, but the union also had agreements with other companies, including Freeman Expositions, which specified it was the "employer" when union members were working on its jobs.
The stagehand was injured while working for Freeman and the treating doctor cleared him to return to work in about a week. Complete Payroll sent the worker to another job, but he was unable to perform because of back pain. Then he was cleared to return to work, but did not go back and began seeing another doctor and filed for workers' compensation.
The workers' compensation court found he suffered an injury to his back while working for Freeman Expositions and that he suffered a recurrence of the injury several weeks later and he had not reached MMI. While the Court of Appeals acknowledged conflicting evidence, it affirmed the decision that Freeman was liable for both injuries.
In Aqua America v. WCAB (Jeffers), a worker was killed in an auto accident, leaving behind a wife and four children. Under the law, payment of benefits to minor children continue until they reach the age of 18 and beyond, if they have a disability.
His daughter suffers from an incurable, progressive eye disease, which will eventually leave her legally blind. The widow sought dependency benefits that would continue after her daughter turned 18.
While a workers' compensation judge and the Workers' Compensation Board approved the daughter's benefits beyond the age of 18, until the employer could prove she was capable of self-support, the Commonwealth Court overturned. It noted disability involves "not merely physical impairment, but loss of earning power" and there was no evidence regarding loss of earning power.
In Steak N Shake v. Yeager, a restaurant worker suffered serious injuries in a fall and was given prescriptions for several pain medications. A week after his fall, he returned to the hospital complaining of weakness, dizziness and chest pain and a doctor posited that the ulcer was likely caused by the combination of meds. The Department of Labor ordered the restaurant to pay for his care.
His hospital bill was over $48,000 and the restaurant contested it by filing a civil suit against the worker. In so doing, they obtained admissions that the worker had taken more meds than prescribed and he consumed an average of three ounces of liquor daily. While a trial judge upheld the award, the Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel reversed and the Supreme Court upheld the Panel's decision not to award benefits.
The proposed rule, published in the Dec. 11 Federal Register, would revise provisions regarding recordkeeping, personal protective clothing and equipment, written control exposure plans, disposal and recycling, medical surveillance, and hazard communication. It also would change or add six terms in the "definitions" paragraph of its regulations: beryllium sensitization, beryllium work area, chronic beryllium disease, CBD diagnostic center, confirmed positive and dermal contact with beryllium.
The enforcement date for the provisions affected by this proposal was December 12, 2018. While this rulemaking is pending, compliance with the standard as modified by this proposal will be accepted as compliance. The deadline to comment on the proposed rule is Feb. 11.
As part of the agency's focus on trenching safety, area offices in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi have launched an initiative to educate employers and workers on trenching safety practices.

Outlook for workers' comp is stable, but rising medical and legal costs and payroll threaten profits – AM Best Co. Inc.
Currently, AM Best has a stable outlook on the U.S. workers' compensation industry, the largest component of the U.S. commercial lines segment. However, the well-known rating agency sees some threatening headwinds that can alter the industry's course. In 2017, growing payrolls helped offset rate decreases and overall soft-market conditions, according to the report. The agency believes that the use of technology, which has provided greater insights into underwriting, pricing and claims decisions, has helped support the line's health and will continue to do so.
Despite the positive results, AM Best believes the trend of declining rates likely will trigger profit margin compression, possibly as soon as 2019. Unemployment has decreased steadily since 2010; however, AM Best notes that long unemployment rate declines typically are followed by sharp spikes in unemployment, and believes that workers' compensation writers should be prepared for a downside scenario as well.
In addition, while there has been a decline in loss frequency, medical cost inflation, as well as the potential for accelerating frequency if employers hire less-qualified candidates are a concern. Rising medical loss cost severity, the declining benefit from prior accident year reserve redundancies and high average settlements on cases stemming from attorneys' growing involvement and litigation, also put pressure on pricing.
Employer takeaway: The report is good news about the stability of rates in the short term. It also provides insights as to how insurers will be evaluating risk. The continued growth of technology in underwriting and pricing means that a company's risk profile is critical. Insurance companies have become quite sophisticated and rates will be based on their perception of your risk. The way to get the best rates is to improve your risk profile – not bidding and quoting. There are trends and claims that are red flags for underwriters, including claim severity, high medical costs, and excessive attorney involvement. If you have claims in these categories, it's a good idea to document special circumstances as well as actions taken to prevent future occurrences.
An average of 10.5% of workers across 15 states never return to work as the result of a workplace injury, and an average of 16.7% reported difficulties getting the health services they wanted or their physicians requested, according to Comparing Outcomes for Injured Workers reports by the Workers Compensation Research Institute (WCRI). Telephone interviews were conducted with close to 10,000 injured workers from 15 states who were hurt at work between 2010 and 2014. The workers interviewed live in Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Florida, Iowa, Indiana, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, Minnesota, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.
An average of 10.5% of workers across 15 states never return to work as the result of a workplace injury, and an average of 16.7% reported difficulties getting the health services they wanted or their physicians requested.
Between 12% and 21% of injured workers reported "big problems" getting the service they or their primary provider wanted, with 10 of the states falling in the 17% to 18% range. Pennsylvania had the lowest rate of 12%.
Between 11% and 20% reported being "very dissatisfied" with their care.
Thirteen percent of workers said they did not return to work for at least a month after their injury.
Between 6% and 11% of injured workers report a significant loss of income due to injury at the time of the interview.
Employer takeaway: The data reinforces the message that employers must be proactive and vigilant in managing workers' comp. This is not new "news" – recovery-at-work programs, medical management best practices, and open lines of communications among all stakeholders are the cornerstones of a successful program.
Quest, a leading drug-testing provider, announces the rate of positive drug test results annually based on an analysis of 10 million urine tests. The new data marks the first time Quest has broken it down by industry.
The rate of positive test results for illicit drugs was highest in retail (5.3%), health care and social assistance (4.7%), and real estate rental and leasing (4.6%) sectors in 2017, while the utilities (2.8%) and finance and insurance (2.6%) sectors had the lowest rates. Drug use by the workforce increased each year, and by double-digits over the two years between 2015 and 2017, in five of 16 major U.S. industry sectors analyzed. The highest rates were in consumer-facing industries.
Marijuana was the most commonly detected substance, with the highest drug positivity rate of all drug classes across the majority of industry sectors. Marijuana positivity was highest in accommodation and food services, at 3.5 percent in 2017, more than 34 percent higher than the national positivity rate of 2.6 percent for the general U.S. workforce.
Employer takeaway: With low unemployment and tight job markets as well as legalized recreational marijuana in many states, many employers have dropped pre-employment drug tests for positions that aren't safety sensitive. The analysis suggests that employers can't assume that workforce drug use isn't an issue in their industry. Employers are responsible for ensuring the safety of workers, customers, and members of the general public and this is one of the more vexing areas. Review your written drug policies, clearly communicate expectations and company rules to all employees, and be sure supervisors know how to recognize signs of impairment.


eviCore EAP's statistics along with numerous research studies confirm that stress from work and home is a major source of concern for many employees. As a wellness oriented EAP, we understand that too much stress not only impacts productivity in the workplace, but also can cause anxiety, depression and negative effects on physical health.
Our customers consistently tell us that they would like to relieve their stress; however, finding the time to come to an EAP appointment can be difficult. In order to address this concern, eviCore EAP has developed an alternative approach to traditional in-person stress management sessions. Our exclusive program is telephone based, convenient and effective. The program offers the opportunity to learn how to reduce stress and improve your quality of life.
In the second phone call, the importance of exercise will be introduced and how there are biological changes in the brain that create a feeling of wellbeing. Endorphins trigger a positive feeling in the body, similar to an opiate. For example, the feeling that follows a run or workout is often described as "euphoric." That feeling, known as a "runner's high," can be accompanied by a positive and energizing outlook on life.
During the third session, the EAP counselor will teach you how to identify stressful thoughts and how to manage and redirect them to something positive.

Not too long ago, patch management was a fairly low priority for the server and infrastructure teams. Patches used to be fairly casually deployed, if deployed at all. However, the increase in the threat landscape, particularly over the past couple of years and the rise of widespread worms and malicious code targeting known vulnerabilities on systems that remain unpatched have become a serious threat and thrust patch management to the forefront of many organisations' list of security priorities.
Large, complex server infrastructure environments require highly skilled and dedicated teams with various disciplines to manage, maintain and improve systems and processes. Often, a busy team can become overwhelmed with what can be perceived as mundane tasks. In addition, routine maintenance work, like patch management often needs to be completed out of hours requiring overtime to be used by skilled workers for fairly routine, unexciting work.
The management of installing server security patches can become an inconvenient overhead and something that can be difficult to keep up with.
The management of scheduling maintenance windows with various teams and stakeholders can also add to the burden.
By outsourcing security patch management, you are not giving away ownership of patch management, just the delivery. This means that you can concentrate high priority support tasks or projects knowing that your systems are compliant with your companies patch management policy.
Whether you are looking for cost savings, increase efficiency or help to achieve consistent policy compliance consider Palisade Secure's patch management services.

Arsenal 3-0 Dundalk: Young Gunners shine
Arsenal's young guns roll to a 3-0 win. Let's dive into the tactics and a few individual performances.
No Comments on Arsenal 3-0 Dundalk: Young Gunners shine
It was a comprehensive display from Arsenal to handle their Europa League opponent and keep themselves out of Dundalk folklore. Dundalk stood tall for the opening 40 minutes of the match, but much as I predicted, the onslaught continued, and once Arsenal got one, more followed. Two more followed to be exact, and in fairly quick succession. There was a halftime in between the second and third goal, but Arsenal scored all three within a 6 minutes stretch of playing time (42′, 44′, and 46′).
Unlike the Sheffield United match a few weeks ago, in which Arsenal struggled for much of the game aside from their two goals, these three goals were not the only bright moments. Which makes it odd that there were so many fans displeased with the performance.
I understand the desire to roll through a team by five or six goals, but we watched an Arsenal team command a game with 62% of the ball, 25 shots, 17 created chances, 92% pass success with much more intricate play than we are used to, and 3 goals. The only real complaint, and one I suppose I could understand, is that of the 25 shots, only 6 were on target. Not the greatest percentage. To make matters worse, only 6 were blocked shots which means we can't even point at a compact defense putting their body on the line.
But credit where it's due to both sides. Dundalk came out and put in a shift and didn't make it overly easy. Arsenal's first goal was a blunder from Dundalk's keeper who came out too far for a corner, which is unfortunate for a side that was in need of a flawless match. Heads went down a bit and Arsenal punished them for a second with a very nice move.
Nketiah was played into space down the right side and set off running at the Dundalk backline. Dundalk probably retreats too far before stepping out to him. By the time they do, Nketiah plays an easy square ball to Pepe who has his shot blocked, falling right into the overlapping run of Joe Willock who finishes emphatically. Arsenal went into the half up by two, which was likely the end of the competition for a side like Dundalk that hadn't created anything since the opening shot of the game tested debutant Runar Runarsson, but in case there was any chance of a dream comeback, Arsenal extinguished it quick.
Within the first minute of the second half, Joe Willock plays makes a nice dribble into the box before squaring a slightly wayward pass across the top of the box, winding up at the feet of Pepe. From there is a moment of individual brilliance from Nicolas Pepe. Pepe struggled this game for periods, but has he takes one prep touch out his feet and curls in a brilliant shot with his right foot, you could't help but tip the cap in respect.
We have hardly seen Pepe use his right foot for much more than walking, yet here he is burying a half chance made from almost nothing. It's the exact type of play that he is capable of, making him brilliant, but the exact play you know he's capable of, making some of his less fine moments all the more frustrating. We will talk a bit about Pepe later.
It was a good win, a solid win, and one that keeps Arsenal on top of their group with 6 points. While this group is one that you would put money on Arsenal winning, it's still worth noting that Rapid Vienna not only faltered today losing to Molde, they were relatively dominated. This puts Molde in second place on goal differential (+2). Arsenal will face Molde next week, which could me more interesting than we initially thought.
Until then, lets look at a few things from today!
Tactical analysis: Arsenal v. Dundalk
When it comes to rotated sides, you always wonder how they are going to play. How is the chemistry going to be? Will the instructions translated for players that see less minutes? Will there be a significant drop off in play? To double the questions, Arsenal are in the middle of transitioning into a much more attacking style of play. It's the next progression, but it has been a bit slower than some people want.
With that in mind, many wanted to know what we would see from Arsenal versus a side like Dundalk. Some understood what Arteta's aim was, others were frustrated by the technicalities of it, but all should understand what they were looking at… So, let's dive in,
Technically, Arsenal lined up in a 3-4-3 type of formation, however, as we know from spending even a few months with Arteta, it hardly stays true to that. While it was rare, without the ball, if Arsenal didn't press or were beat, they dropped into a 5-2-3. Soares and Maitland-Niles dropped, Kolasinac and Mustafi squeezed.
With the ball, and the focal point of this analysis, Arsenal broke out into a very attacking shape. One that not only offered numbers, but offered options on multiple planes of the pitch. This was often facilitated through the play of Willock, Maitland-Niles, and the wingers. This looked a bit more like:
Theres a couple ways to think about this if you were looking for a true "formation" — 2-1-2-5 or more likely 2-2-6 — because there was distinct movement from players depending on which side of the field the ball was working through. If the ball was on the left, players shifted a bit left and Cedric Soares tucked in alongside Elneny to create a shield of 2. If it were on the right, the same shift happened, this time from Kolasinac.
This pendulum look is pretty common, and happened a little bit against Leicester City, but in that match we saw it coming from the flat-three midfield. A major difference of course, was Arteta's willingness in this match to make sure there was a 6th attacker present in the attack yesterday to form a 2-2-6 versus making sure we had 3 shielding the backline against Leicester City in more of a 2-3-5.
One other element that needs to be pointed out, was the movement and exchange from players on the wings with midfielders playing between the midfield and defensive lines of Dundalk. Their movement, rotation, and exchanges played a big role in making them hard to track and mark, and almost instantly they became more dangerous. A major aspect missing against Leicester City. Here is a look at a few common exchanges.
Two common exchanges, in addition to the pendulum flow of Kolasinac and Soares, was the picking and choosing of who would come central and who would stay wide between Maitland-Niles and Nelson on the left, and Soares and Pepe on the right. This alone is not the newest concept as we have seen the likes of Willian and Saka tucking in to allow for overlap for quite some time. However, having Willock constantly present between the lines to join them did add an element of options to play into and created a few issues tracking at times — especially in transition.
Willock's presence, almost meant that Eddie could stay high with Dundalk's backline, instead of needing to come back and do some of the dirty work we have seen him or Lacazette have to do in recent Premier League games without a midfielder in the hole. I imagine if we see Aubameyang occupying Arsenal's central striker role, he too will have the ability to stay just off the shoulder of the opposition's last defender.
On one hand, the attack was significantly better — 3 goals, 25 shots, 62% possession. On the other hand, Dundalk is a team ripe for those type of numbers. Does that mean that this is the attacking style we will see from Arsenal when they return to Premier League action? Sort of, but not entirely.
In my opinion, I do believe we will see more attacking from our central midfielders, facilitated by outside backs staying home just a little bit more. Versus Leicester, we saw almost not forward adventuring from our central three, instead everything went do the outside backs down the wing. It has an effect, it works to an extent, but it costs us significant involvement from players that are good on the ball. A hefty price.
Additionally, we saw a 3-4-3 against Dundalk and I do believe Arteta will continue to look to a back four system. This could be a 4-3-3 with someone playing a similar role to how Willock played today, or it could be a true 4-2-3-1. We will see how this game effects Arteta's thinking.
A game like this can be hard to judge from a team persepective. Arsenal should dominate Dundalk, they relatively did dominate Dundalk, therefore good day at the office against Dundalk. It's also hard to grab major takeaways on the squad as a whole and apply them to future games because of how rotated the lineup is due to the opposition. It's because of these factors, that I find it best to look at individual performances. So let's do it!
Joe Willock
Feels impossible not to highlight individual performances and not lead with Joe Willock. With 1 goal, 1 assist, 3 key passes, 2 shots, and 4 dribbles he was probably Arsenal's top performer. He put on a great performance in a role that Arsenal have struggled to fill, while demonstrating a few qualities that no one else in the side seems to have much of in their own lockers. Intricate play in compact spaces and continued runs in behind the opposition backline are the two main ones to highlight.
Willock truly rose to the occasion tonight and put on a performance in the face of reduced playing time, appearances, and overall uncertainty from fans. It's a great thing to see and hopefully there is more of it coming.
Nelson has had a tough year. There were early rumors of him being loaned away, but now it appears he was the one that convinced Arteta to keep him at the club this year and allow him to fight for him. It's an uphill battle on paper when you compare him to Nicolas Pepe and Willian, but it's a battle he seems to be getting a hold of. He was spectacular against Leicester City when Arsenal played them within the Carabao Cup, but he went unrewarded when he wasn't included in the following cup matches or against Rapid Vienna within the Europa Leauge.
Last night he had 3 shots, 4 dribbles, 2 key passes, went 6/7 on long balls, had 10 crosses, and a few defensive stats. Additionally, much like Willock, Nelson offered Arsenal a good amount of technical skill in tight spaces. He was energetic, dynamic, fluid, sharp, and direct. It's something the regular first team for Arsenal haave been crying out for, and Nelson just offered it on a silver platter fr the second match in a row. Will be very interesting to see how Arteta reacts.
Pepe scored an absolutely splendid goal to kick off the second half, but there was plenty about his game to be concerned with. I think it is clear we are at the point where Pepe will likely never by the £72 million player we were sold, but since he is relatively paid for, we might as well get from him every bit we can. However, with Nelson playing well, Willian appearing to be the favorite from Arteta, Pepe's hold on the position has all but slipped. He will have to continue to prove himself.
Runar Runarsson
Runar had very little to do this evening on his debut, but he did it well. He made a save early in the first half on a very long-range effort, but it was his foot skills and ability to clear danger on corner kicks that impressed the most. Not a lot of work, as I said, but I would be willing to see just a little bit more from him.
Ainsley Maitland-Niles
AMN had a good game. Just good. There are a few stats that may highlight him as a more effective player, but last night he shared a pitch with Willock and Nelson who were showing what it means to them to be fighting for their life at Arsenal. Ainsley sort of disappeared. He was around, he made a few runs, a few plays, and a few defensive plays, but I just cant say I was overly impressed. For someone fighting for their own place, up against even Cedric Soares, he just didn't seem to 'bring it.
Eddie Nketiah was decent, although it doubled down on my desire to see Aubameyang play down the center. Elneny was solid and predictable for Arteta. Granit Xhaka came up big in the backline, but I can't say I am one that is looking forward to it. Willian was subbed on, but kept pretty quiet.
Overall it was a good win, an enjoyable game, and now we look ahead to a much tougher one against Manchester United. Enjoy the win!

Q: Neo4j: How can I return query results based on the number of connected nodes? I have the following schema:
(:Thread)
(:User)
(User)->[:PART_OF_THREAD]

Currently all threads will have an extra (:User) node connected to it which represents a bot (which does automated messages & etc.). Below is an example of the data for each thread (2 users + a BotUser)
(Thread)<-[:PART_OF]-(User1)
(Thread)<-[:PART_OF]-(User2)
(Thread)<-[:PART_OF]-(BotUser)

NOTE: Each user will have a thread with BotUser alone. E.g
(Thread)<-[:PART_OF]-(User2)
(Thread)<-[:PART_OF]-(BotUser)

I'm having troubles trying to query for the User2 and BotUser thread. Since BotUser exists in every thread, if I query the thread between User2 and BotUser then neo4j will return all the threads that have User2 and BotUser in it, this is not what I want, I want to return JUST the thread with BotUser and User2. Here is the query I'm currently using:
MATCH (user1:USER {id: User1Id}) -[:PART_OF_THREAD]->(thread:THREAD)<-[:PART_OF_THREAD]-(:USER {id: BotUserId})
RETURN thread

How can I return the Thread with just BotUser and User1?

*

*Will I need to count the total number of users in the thread and ONLY return the thread WHERE users.length > 2?

*Is there anything else I could do?

If something is not clear, feel free to ask some questions

A: Your logic is about right, the fastest way to count the number of users being part of a thread is to get the degree of the PART_OF relationship on the thread :
MATCH (user1:USER {id: User1Id}) -[:PART_OF_THREAD]->(thread:THREAD)<-[:PART_OF_THREAD]-(:USER {id: BotUserId})
WHERE size((thread)<-[:PART_OF_THREAD]-()) = 2
RETURN thread

Q: React testing library fails to check for disabled button I'm using react-hook-form to control my form inputs (ChakraUI inputs) and disable Submit button in case an input is invalid
Since I have a multipage form I use FormProvider in parent component, changing validation schema depending on the current page
   const currentValidationSchema = validationSchema[activeStep];

    const methods = useForm({
        mode: 'all',
        defaultValues: DEFAULT_VALUES,
        resolver: yupResolver(currentValidationSchema),
    });

 <FormProvider {...methods}>
    <Box >{renderCurrentStep(activeStep)}</Box>
  </FormProvider>

And consume it with useFormContext in child component
    const {
        control,
        watch,
        getValues,
        clearErrors,
        setError,
        setValue,
        formState: { errors, isValid },
    } = useFormContext<IOrderProductFormData>();

    <Controller
        control={control}
        name="phoneNumber"
        render={({ field: { onChange, value } }) => {
            return (
                <InputMask
                    mask="999 99 999"
                    onChange={onChange}
                    maskChar=" "
                    value={value}
                >
                    {(inputProps: any) => (
                        <InputGroup variant="phone">
                            <InputLeftAddon>+1</InputLeftAddon>
                            <Input
                                type="tel"
                                ref={inputRef}
                                aria-label="phone-number"
                                data-testid="phone-number"
                                {...inputProps}
                            />
                        </InputGroup>
                    )}
                </InputMask>
            );
        }}
    />

The buttons gets disabled if the form does not pass validation but the current schema
<ArrowButton onClick={handleSendOtp} disabled={!isValid} />

The code works as expected but I'm struggling with writing unit tests to verify the button is indeed disabled when necessary.
describe('<PhoneNumber />', () => {
    beforeEach(async () => {
        await act(async () => {
            render(
                <WrapperForm>
                    <WrapperRouter>
                        <PhoneNumber {...props} />
                    </WrapperRouter>
                </WrapperForm>
            );
        });
    });

    describe('with valid input', () => {
        it('should show enabled button', async () => {
            const nextPageButton = screen.getByRole('button', { name: 'chevron-right' });

            fireEvent.input(screen.getByTestId('phone-number'), {
                target: {
                    value: '22222222',
                },
            });

            expect(nextPageButton).not.toBeDisabled();
        });
    });

    describe('with invalid input', () => {
        it('should show disabled button', async () => {
            const nextPageButton = screen.getByRole('button', { name: 'chevron-right' });

            fireEvent.input(screen.getByTestId('phone-number'), {
                target: {
                    value: '0',
                },
            });

            expect(nextPageButton).toBeDisabled();
        });
    });
});

The first step passes as it should with the valid value. The second one however fails with the following message

expect(element).toBeDisabled()

Received element is not disabled:
  <button aria-label="chevron-right" class="chakra-button css-5c2176" name="chevron-right" type="button" />

For some reason, there is no disabled attribute on the button even though it works just fine from the UI. I would appreciate some help with that

How ABCG is Implementing Community Forestry in the Democratic Republic of Congo: WRI's Natural Resources Policy Specialist Explains
by abcg
ABCG NewsCBFMNews & Updates
Community-Based Forest Management (CBFM) is the management, by communities or smallholders, of forests and agroforests they own, as well as the management of state-owned forests (some of which share customary tenure and rights under traditional laws and practice) by communities. The Africa Biodiversity Collaborative Group (ABCG) through its CBFM thematic working group is implementing the Community-Based Forest Management project in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). CBFM builds upon ABCG's previous work on community forests under the Land and Resource Tenure Rights thematic area and is being implemented by ABCG members, World Resources Institute (WRI) and the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI).
ABCG talked to Prince Baraka, Natural Resources Policy Specialist at WRI to find out more about the project.
1. What is the importance of CBFM in DRC?
DRC is a country endowed with high forest cover with more than a half of the remaining Congo Basin rainforest found in the region (WRI). According to the World Bank, the Congo Basin rainforest is the second-largest tropical forest on Earth and comprises of about 70% of Africa's forest cover. These forest's ecosystem products and services supports the livelihoods of millions of people who live in these areas and beyond making CBFM an important management aspect.
In Community-Based Forest Management, the community takes greater ownership in the management and governance of the forests. With limited state resources for forestry management due to the country's socio-political and socio-economic situation, implementing this project in DRC offers a cheaper and more effective approach to manage forests. Secondly, state governance of forest resources has proven to be challenging and inadequate in ensuring sustainability of forests. It is also a strategy for reducing poverty and improving conservation by empowering communities to manage their forest resources directly.
"Community forestry is an opportunity to explore conservation out of protected areas, and should be used as a tool to improve local governance and the well-being of forests" Prince Baraka
2. What strategy is the project employing in implementing CBFM in DRC?
We are employing two strategies, the first one looks at promoting and understanding best practices in the implementation of CBFM management plans in DRC for improved conservation outcomes. In this, we are trying to encourage a way of valuing community forestry as a conservation tool and equally as a local development tool. The second strategy focuses on better understanding the impacts of CBFM on forest cover in different landscapes through analysis of satellite imagery and other spatial data across diverse CBFM scenarios.
3. Tell us about some of the approaches you are employing in implementing the strategies.
We have been working on enabling the appropriate policy environment that supports CBFM. To this end, we collaborated with DRC's Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, and other partners, to develop the Ministerial Decree No. 025 which was signed into law in February 2016. It provides rules governing concession management by forest communities. In 2018 and 2019, WRI supported in the development of another Ministerial order which allowed the environment ministry to create a steering committee for the national strategy on community forestry in DRC. Additionally, we have been working on bringing institutional support and involvement in the development of important model tools such as legal frameworks that would support the implementation of CBFM. Further, we have developed an important guide for managing community forests in DRC, titled 'Guide opérationnel d'élaboration des plans simples de gestion des concessions forestières des communautés locales'.
4. Elaborate further on the guide, 'Guide opérationnel d'élaboration des plans simples de gestion des concessions forestières des communautés locales' and its significance to the success of CBFM.
The name of the guide loosely translates to 'Guide for the elaboration of simple management plans for forest concessions of local communities' in English. The guide is a reference tool to assist Local Community Forest Concession (CFCL) user groups to set clear goals for management that will improve quality of life of communities whose forests constitute reserves of biodiversity and forest-dependent livelihoods. This offers an opportunity for them to engage in the project activities thereby being the core actors in managing their resources. The guide was developed by WRI (with co-financing from USAID CARPE SCAEMPS program) in collaboration with the Division of Community Forestry and was validated by stakeholders in Kinshasa, DRC in May 2019. In collaboration with the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, translation of the guide into local languages is ongoing. It will serve as the basis for WRI-led distribution to local actors and awareness raising on its application.
5. What are the positive outcomes witnessed as a result of using the guide and model tools developed?
One successful outcome has been the acceptance and validation of the guide by the highest political level, the Minister of Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, and communities in Maniema and Kwilu Provinces. The adoption of these model tools has further led to an increase in the number of community forests attained, efficiency in administration service delivery in the provinces, and governance processes are now improved and harmonized.
6. What is the value-add to community members being involved in the project and in which provinces is CBFM being implemented?
By being involved in CBFM activities, community members make actors aware of their needs and concerns. This helps in the design and delivery of interventions that are beneficial to community members such as establishment of Local Community Forest Concession governance structures. Secondly, it enables communities to realize the importance of biodiversity conservation through their active involvement in the whole process of implementing the simple management plan. Lastly, involving communities promotes responsibility, better management of community forests, resource efficiency and reduces management costs for the government and partners as the activities are done by community members themselves. The CBFM project is being carried out in several provinces namely Maniema, Maindombe, Kwilu, Tshopo, Tshuapa, Mongala, North-Kivu and Equateur.
7. Who are some of your local partners in implementing CBFM in DRC?
The partnerships we form are critical for the success of our work, in implementing CBFM, we have partnered with Groupe d'Action pour Sauver l'Homme et son Environnement (GASHE) in Equateur, Réseau pour la Conservation et la Réhabilitation des Ecosystèmes Forestiers (Réseau CREF) in North Kivu, Centre d'Appui à la Gestion Durable des Forêts Tropicales (CAGDFT) and Conseil pour la défense environnementale par la légalité et la traçabilité (CODELT).
8. What are the challenges faced in implementing this project?
Encountering resistance from local communities who refuse to let go of their land can pose a big challenge to this work. Resistance can also come from movements of environmental civil society organizations who regards this process as a dispossession of communities from their land. Therefore, it is difficult to create community forests under the status of a national park, as this option is negatively perceived by the communities. This explains why we are moving more and more towards the creation of reserves and community conservation areas, because it is essential to have the support of local communities who customarily own their forests. Currently, with a view to guaranteeing the preservation of biodiversity, the forest concessions of local communities are considered to be an opportunity to extend conservation areas outside protected areas.
9. Which technique is WRI using to reach and engage with communities during this period of the
COVID-19 pandemic?
WRI staff now have less interaction with the communities and other partners due to the set COVID-19 guidelines. Communication challenges as a result of limited internet access further makes it difficult to engage with the communities as well as implement the planned activities on the ground. To continue our operations during this period, we are working more closely with local NGOs who are able to reach the communities and incorporate the use of the tools we helped to develop.
10. What would you recommend other actors to put emphasis on to ensure the success of CBFM?
It is important for all actors to ensure that community forestry effectively contributes to biodiversity conservation and local development particularly by promoting the local economic fabric through enhancement of natural resources. Promoting the economic benefits to communities is important in increasing the economic value of community forests that contributes to better management of the natural resources.
